Preliminary Task

Our Preliminary task was to create a maximum of a 2 minute video of someone walking through a door, sitting down and exchanging a couple of lines of dialogue. The video must have included the 180 degree rule, match on action and shot reverse shot.


From this task, I have learnt what the 180 degree rule and match on action is. The 180 degree rule is when their is two characters in a scene and should always have the same left/right relationship. If the camera crosses the imaginary axis connecting the two people it is called crossing the line and therefore breaking the rule. Match on action is when a small section of the narrative is missing making the audience gather what has happened. For Example in our preliminary task we show a person entering then skip straight inside the room to them sitting down. This is match on action as we don't physically watch them enter the room fully. I also learnt/recapped how to use adobe premiere pro to edit my task. I learnt how to add titles, cut out unwanted clips and add transitions.
